Still has some issues, seats needs to be roof mounted and soldiers need not sit without seat belts..

BUSK ? please elaborate. Kestrel can be developed into Tracked APC or IFV. but i am trying to say is that under 25ton vehicle can float over water on its own power but in 30+ Ton category it cannot. heavy weight means better armor and better protection for squad sitting in. lighter means air...

If so, why go with with a25ton and move to 35Ton which has a better armor (to be protected against at least 105mm frontal arc). BMP2 - sacrifices protection for firepower and mobility. If we add more protection, we would need better engine.. add 105mm and 30mm coaxial gun (remote turret as BMP3...

Did some reserch on IFV's around world, at it seems that USA's Bradley has been made capable to with stand 30mm on front arc and it can float over water with small preparation. it lacks a bit in firepower as it has 25mm cannon. but covers up somewhat to take on tanks as it has set of 2 Anti-tank...

Tank and infantry don't match. check bottom sand. Seems to be photoshop..

Agree.. I believe we should have automatic turret and not BMP2 30mm on Kestral. say every 100 Kestral deployed in APC mode should have automatic 30mm turret and 10 in anti tank mode with 105mm/120mm gun, 10 with twin Mortar, 10 in airdefence (1 30mm gun and 4 side mounted QRSAM), 5 medivac, 5 C&C

Standard of reporting... :facepalm: kabhi tank, kabhi Arjun..shukar hai, he didn't made it fly

Kestrel will act as APC and BMP2 will be replaced by FICV. u cannot use both and APC and FICV in CT operations. MPV's does that work. also its not Army job that should ideally be CRPF or Police job for CT operations.

Reason i believe is FICV will go (majority work) to private players so BMP upgrade goes to OFB..

Wrong place!! still nice article..

not likely, they are now looting banks.. bringing in hindus from other parts of nation or from jammu is only solution

Arjun tank is dead..not because DRDO or OFB lacked..issue is with mindset. Army never wanted arjun tank post arrival of T90..army will opt for Russian T-14 tanks rather than supporting Arjun MK2 or MK3.

Can't we convert some of the T72's into Heavy APC's or Support vehicles?? Israel does it with older tanks. FMBT has been scrapped if i am correct, DRDO will work on improvements of arjun only as of now. Reason being there is limited tech for FMBT specs in world too. as we are going to produce...

True but some of are officers, generals, politicians prefer making some money or are subscribed to Defence magazines and this system doesn't looks that good to them. Its high time to fully replace BMP 2/3.....

True sir, a lot of images are incorrect so is the information, quite old or irrelevant.

Destroyed+T-90S+MBT+in+Georgia.jpg (image) t90 tank destroyed in Georgia war!! So can Tanks Guru's comment on that it isn't T90 tank. Facts is sometimes gurus can also be wrong!!

Re: Arjun Main Battle Tank (MBT) Because Instead Russians used T 72 and T 90 tanks during 2nd conflict!! The T-90A saw combat action during the 1999 Chechen invasion of Dagestan. According to Moscow Defense Brief, one T-90 was hit by seven RPG anti-tank rockets but remained in action. The...

Re: Arjun Main Battle Tank (MBT) Tank failed in Chechen...true commanders were bad...but tank too performed poorly

Hell with these experts. If T80 tanks were so good, why they performed so poor in chechan wars. That's a fact and it cannot be denied that T80 failed miserably in only war it took place in. in Russia-georgia war, russian used old T-72 tanks along with few T 90's. As per Russian claim which as...
